Larry Earl Dukes, 66, of Russiaville, went to be with his Lord and Savior at 7:17 pm Monday March 24, 2025.
He was born in Tipton, IN, on September 14, 1958, the son of Marshall and Drama (Bowers) Dukes.
On June 3, 1978, he married Catherine Davison at Honeycreek Missionary Baptist Church, and she survives.
Larry was a 1977 graduate of Clinton Central High School. He worked at Mohr Construction for 20 years, then later retired from Chrysler as a Union Official after 28 years of service. Larry was a faithful member of Honeycreek Missionary Baptist Church in Russiaville where he served as a Deacon, Trustee, and Treasurer. He prioritized his family and the time he spent with them. He lived a great testimony and left an incredible legacy in his wife, children, grandchildren, and siblings. Larry was a dependable man, with a bright smile, and he had the best sense of humor. His favorite hobbies were fishing, collecting pocketknives, watching old western country shows, and finishing yardwork. He found great joy in hosting friends and family. He has finished his race, he has kept the faith!
In addition to his wife Cathy, Larry is survived by his children, Steven (Veronica) Dukes, Michael (Laura) Dukes, Aaron Dukes; siblings, Linda Johnston, Darrell (Chauntelle) Dukes, David (Lori) Dukes; grandchildren, Cody Pearcy, Dylan Dukes, Thomas Dukes; and several nieces, nephews, aunts, and uncles.
